Does this effect your inverts?

[-TYLER-]

Hey guys, im just wondering if the rope being attached to a kleet (spelled right? lol) on the corner of the boat can actually effect an invert because the rope is lower than you are when doing the rotation. Also the rope staying on one side...the left side, the whole time. One of my friends told me it can pull you towards the boat


Stupid set of questions but i just want to know how much of a difference it makes on inverts.

I learned backrolls on a boat without a tower and for me it was a litttle easier to do them when I moved to a boat with a tower/ext. pylon. It just seemed like there was a little more slack in the rope, and it was easier to hang on to.

cleat* im pretty sure, but im sure it would affect your inverts if not all of your tricks because its not only pulling you downwards, it would pulling you to one side, im not sure cuz i havnt ridden a side cleat in a long time, usually ride with it in the middle... i have a boat with a tower now

it might affect them but if you have never ridden with a tower or pylon you wont be able to tell and like what kmagnuss said it might help you when you move to a tower or pylon.

if you dont have a center cleat, pole, tower, etc., i would try tying the rope to the handle by the swimstep...if your boat comes with one. That way you would be more centered behind the boat.

also you can by something that will go from the cleat on one side to the cleat on the other side and the rope connects in the middle

it does affect them....mine is attached to a cleat too...it tends to pull you down towards the boat more than having a pylon. The reason it felt weird is because you were used to it being so low, then you moved the rope high so there would be more slack.
